The initial consultation with this attorney was very positive. His paralegal seemed nice and both appeared to be knowledgeable about my custody issue. However, after a very short time, it was apparent that the attorney had little concern for my case. After the temporary hearing with the judge, a defa...ult judgment was ordered and she wanted Barina to file the order with a specific schedule for supervised visitation for the judge to sign. The paralegal informed me this would take 2-3 weeks. TEN WEEKS later this still had not been done (I regularly requested updates and was told they would let me know) and I requested another hearing. When I complained to the attorney and paralegal about the amount of time this issue was taking, they filed a motion to withdraw as counsel. This all cost me $3000. At the hearing, Barina stated out loud in the courtroom that I was "mean" because I told him he blamed all of his mistakes on other people. The issue was resolved by the judge. I agreed to the motion to withdraw and I will get another attorney when the temporary orders expire. I have filed a grievance against this attorney. This attorney has no respect for his clients. He is unorganized and relies heavily on his paralegal, which resulted in a multitude of mistakes in the paperwork that was filed.

This attorney took my case in 2015 for a common law marriage that didn't exist and a claim against my business. This attorney and stay did NOTHING from 2015-2017 except take money. No returned calls, horrible office support, incomplete paperwork! I hired another attorney and the case was closed in 6 ...weeks without being a marriage! Please please please read the other poor reviews

You have a better chance of winning the lottery than to have this guy return your calls or emails in a timely manner. Two years and still nothing got done with my case. Had to go to another attorney to get my case completed, and he got it done in only two months. Heed my warning, just please look el...sewhere.

i never made contact with Mr. Barina only on my first visit and on court dates . I call the office and only get an outside answering service. The paralegal there is very rude and she act as if she is the attorney . I only choose Mr. Barina because I hired him once before and he was excellent but time...s have changed as he never responded to any of my email or phone calls. He is a very passive attorney and only wants you to take the easy route Mr. Barina is not an aggressive attorney and for the price he asks for is no worth the service. Unfortunately I wish the old Mr. Barina would wake but I will never know because I won't ever use his services again as I had to report him and his staff to the bar. Do research even if you have used an attorney before I will never recommend this attorney to any.

I was a client of Mr. Barina in 2014. I retained him to assist with my divorce. All the documents required to help finalize my divorce (such as documents in order to remove my name from title of house) were not completed, I have yet to receive any documentation. I called a few months ago to ask about... the forms when I realized I did not receive them, and was told I would have to pay for that to be completed. My name was spelled incorrectly in my name change for the divorce, and I was generally unhappy with the process. Mr. Barina did not attend my final hearing, instead sent an associate attorney, whom I had never met, and I was not informed this would be the case. The attorney sent in his place was late to court. Phone calls and emails were never returned, and the office staff was extremely rude. I am now in the process of attempting to return to court to modify agreements for my custody and child support orders, roughly a year after my case was finalized.
